"Kevin Kline gives a master class in acting. He finds every nuance of mirth and melancholy in this wonder of a role and rides it to glory. You can't take your eyes off him."

-Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE

"ENDEARING. Kevin Kline has a ball and Paul Dano is pitch-perfect."

-Elizabeth Weitzman, NY Dailly News

"THE FILMMAKLERS AND CAST SUCCESSFULLY CREATE THE HARDEST CHARACTERS TO PULL OFF: EXOTIC, YET RECOGNIZABLE NEW YORKERS. It affectionately honors its characters' idiosyncrasies, never diluting them into typical indie-comedy quirk."

-Melissa Anderson, Village Voice

"Winsome and touching. Kevin Kline’s performance is fantastic."

-Ellen Thompson, Nylon

"A TIMELESS NEW YORK STORY. Kevin Kline soars in one of his best screen roles. A highly entertaining character comedy exemplified by wit, intelligence and joie de vivre."

About The Film

Louis Ives (Paul Dano) heads to New York City following an embarrassing incident that forces him to leave his job. He rents a room in the apartment of Henry Harrison (Kevin Kline), a penniless, wildly eccentric playwright. Additionally, he accepts a position with an environmental magazine, where he encounters green-obsessed co-worker Mary (Katie Holmes). But it’s Louis’ new home life with Henry that really sparks his imagination. Developing a mentor/apprentice relationship, Henry exposes Louis to the duties of an “extra man,” a social escort for wealthy widows.
